The goal of the program is to provide retinal specialists and ophthalmologists with comprehensive education on posterior non-infectious uveitis diagnosis, and current and future treatment options. Panel case discussions will provide physicians with insight on how to translate current clinical evidence into clinical practice.

The symposium, which will be held at the downtown Chicago Marriott from 6 to 9 p.m., will go through in-depth examination of real-life case studies involving different treatment approaches.

Objectives

At the end of the program, attendees should be able to:

• Use imaging to diagnose and monitor uveitis conditions.
• Differentiate between infectious and noninfectious uveitis.
• Follow treatment guidelines for patients requiring long term systemic immune suppression and long term local sustained delivery devices.

Target audience

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of retina specialists, comprehensive ophthalmologists, residents and fellows in training, and allied healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with posterior non-infectious uveitis.

Faculty

Faculty members for this course include Drs. Srivastava (moderator), Martin, Lowder, Sharma and Venkat, as well as Francisco Pichi, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.
